Role for proteomics in identifying hematologic malignancies
Scientists have identified a set of biomarkers that could help clinicians identify a group of hematologic malignancies known as myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), which affect approximately 300,000 individuals worldwide and often progress to acute myeloid leukemia. view more (2007-01-11)
First big influenza genome study reveals flu evolution
On the eve of the 2005-06 flu season, scientists at The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR) have captured influenza evolution in action. view more (2005-10-06)
Understanding how weeds are resistant to herbicides
In a little over seven hours, University of Illinois weed scientist Patrick Tranel got more genetic information about waterhemp than in two years time in a lab. view more (2009-08-06)
Systems biology approach identifies nutrient regulation of biological clock in plants
Using a systems biological analysis of genome-scale data from the model plant Arabidopsis, an international team of researchers identified that the master gene controlling the biological clock is sensitive to nutrient status. view more (2008-03-17)
Evolution of fruit size in tomato
Domesticated tomatoes can be up to 1000 times larger than their wild relatives. How did they get so big? In general, domesticated food plants have larger fruits, heads of grain, tubers, etc, because this is one of the characteristics that early hunter-gatherers chose when foraging for food. view more (2008-06-30)
UI chemists' DNA biosynthesis discovery could lead to better antibiotics
Combating several human pathogens, including some biological warfare agents, may one day become a bit easier thanks to research reported by a University of Iowa chemist and his colleagues in the April 16 issue of the journal Nature. view more (2009-04-17)
UCL to stage international conference on genes in sport: press invitation
LONDON 13 NOV. 2001 - Scientists will look into the present and future role that genetics may play in sport at a press briefing in advance of a one day international conference on Genes and Sport at University College London. The conference, organised jointly by the UK Institute of Sports Medicine and the School of Human Health Performance at... view more... (2001-11-13)
Nutritional genomics identifies a potential weight-loss resistance gene
Two obese people follow the same low-calorie diet and do not exercise, but one loses much more weight than the other. Genetic factors may explain this phenomenon. view more (2005-12-08)
Microbiology Today February 2003 issue
DNA50 and microbes This special issue commemorates the 50th anniversary of the publication of the structure of DNA by Watson and Crick. Microbes have always played an important role in DNA research and this issue, which features topics in modern molecular microbiology and microbial genomics, shows the enormous amount of progress made in the last... view more...

A First Glance at the Gene Networks of Human Aging
Boston, MA - July 29, 2004 - Scientists have rendered the first gene and protein networks of human aging, an important step in understanding the genetic mechanisms of aging. The work led by Joao Pedro de Magalhaes from Harvard Medical School is detailed in the July 30 issue of FEBS Letters. view more (2004-07-29)
Scientists discover two genes linked to early heart attack risk
One of the genes, known as VAMP8, normally expresses a protein essential for early stages of clotting. When clotting occurs in a coronary blood vessel, it can lead to heart attack. view more (2006-05-12)
10 Million Euro Technology Project Makes Europe a leader in Biocrystallography
A project to create a common platform throughout Europe for researchers working in the field of 'biological crystallography' is underway thanks to a grant of 10 million euros from the EU's 6th Framework Programme (FP6). view more (2005-02-08)
Grafts against cancer
A research team led by Prof. Claude Perreault, Université de Montréal, is announcing a major discovery in Genomics. This will generate a fundamental impact on the treatment of blood cancers (leukemias and lymphomes) by means of peripheral blood T-cell grafts. view more (2007-02-02)
World Heart Day: Commission launches new research projects to combat cardiovascular disease
September 28 marked World Heart Day. The purpose was to raise awareness on risks and to promote opportunities for preventing heart disease. In the last four years, the European Commission has funded 24 projects in this field, with a contribution of EUR35.5 million. This will be a priority in the future as well, and the EU is about to launch two... view more... (2003-09-29)
Credit crunch threatens new medicines
The global financial crisis could seriously delay the discovery and production of many new life-saving medicines, warns a major international conference today. view more (2008-10-27)
Lab-on-a-Chip Device from Berkeley Lab to Speed Proteomics Research
In recent years, the science of biology has been dominated by genomics - the study of genes and their functions. The genomics era is now making way for the era of proteomics - the study of the proteins that genes encode. view more (2007-05-03)
CHAVI announces international search for genes affecting HIV response
A pioneering collaboration among U.S., European and Australian researchers announced June 20, 2006, will seek to identify genetic differences in the way people respond to HIV. view more (2006-06-20)
The anti-diabetic effects of sodium tungstate revealed
The molecular mechanisms of tungstate activity in diabetes have been uncovered. Researchers writing in the open access journal BMC Genomics have identified the pathways through which sodium tungstate improves pancreatic function and beta cell proliferation. view more (2009-08-28)
Establishing standard definitions for genome sequences
In 1996, researchers from major genome sequencing centers around the world convened on the island of Bermuda and defined a finished genome as a gapless sequence with a nucleotide error rate of one or less in 10,000 bases. view more (2009-10-09)
